I didn’t know all these people had a mental disorder! What a great post! Thanks!
The guy who invented pokeman had aspergers? That’s awesome! Well there you go zack, I think you should turn this whole situation with you and Kate into a video game. The inconspicuous enemy enters the kingdom and slyly deceives and imprisons the prince and princess and all the court…and all hell breaks loose. Finally the prince, robed in white, from a far away land comes and redeems everyone. Okay, so maybe that sounds a little more like a mix between Lord of the Rings and Mario Brothers, but in my sleep-deprived mind it’s an amazing idea. You could be rich!
Hey now, I wasn’t kidding. I think it would be cool : )
Where did the alias come from?
